Anti-Christ as compared to False Prophet

The term anti-Christ is not in the Bible to reference either of the two beasts of Revelation chapter 13.

End-time prophecy is confronted with THREE separate and unique evil entities, the dragon, the beast of Revelation 13:1, and the beast of Revelation 13:11.

At Revelation16:13 and Revelation 19:20 (below) the dragon is Satan, the beast is the beast of Revelation 13:1, the false prophet is the beast of Revelation 13:11.

ALL persons who deny that Jesus is the Christ, who deny the Father and the Son, are anti-Christ. (1 Jn.2:18, 1 Jn.2:22, 1 Jn.4:3, 2 Jn.1:7 below).


Re.16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the DRAGON (Re.12:9, Re.20:2, Re.9:11), and out of the mouth of the BEAST (Re.13:1-8), and out of the mouth of the FALSE PROPHET (Re.13:11-17).

Re.19:20 And the BEAST (Re.13:1) was taken, and with him the FALSE PROPHET (Re.13:11) that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These BOTH were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone (Re.21:8).

1 Jn.2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

1 Jn.2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

1 Jn.4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

2 Jn.1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
